can't access phone book for more than 1 second

[mderoberts]

Hi, I dropped my v3 in the ocean and the sim reader is corroded. I managed to work my way through the p2k tools to turn the SIM requirement off. So now I'm running my phone solo. I get it to go on and can get to the phone book but it kicks back to the main menu after one second. What would cause the phone to not let me see the list of contacts (stay on the list) and how can I fix it?
Everything else works, camera, etc.
I have no idea how to download the phone numbers/book. Any help MUCH appreciated.

water damage would certainly cause problems, however usually you would lose most key functions. if all you want to do is backup the contact list, i think there is a feature in flash&backup that does this. if you want to fix the phone, try flashing it first(probably wont help) and if this doesnt work try changing the flex cable.... they usually get fried first.

yes, to backup all your stuffs,
JUST BACKUP CG2 from flash and BAckup.

Elze, to have a graphical user interface(GUI) backup, i.e you can read the phone numbers from PC screen, then USE MOTOROLA PHONE TOOLS.

And after reading data, save as in "comma excel " format or anything you like.
Or export those contacts for sometime to outlook via MPT
